King Prawn With Green Pepper in Black Bean Sauce

Chinese
dishes are becoming an integral part of the U.K’s culinary culture
thanks to the ever-expanding global food industry. The dishes have
grown from simple soggy sandwiches to a full range of menus that are
available in restaurants and takeaways. One such popular menu is the
king prawn with green pepper in black bean sauce.

King
prawn with green pepper in black bean sauce is a simple Chinese dish
that is easy to cook at home. The dish will only take you
approximately 12 minutes to prepare and then 10 minutes to cook. This
dish is popular for its versatility. You can substitute the king
prawns for chicken, beef, tofu or even mushroom. Perhaps try out the
dish from your local takeaway through Hungry
House,
before you cook it to see if it’s your taste. If you find that you
like it then you can enjoy cooking it at home using the recipe below:

Equipment:
Wok or large frying pan

Ingredients

10
Raw King Prawns

2
Cloves garlic, crushed

¼
pint (150ml) chicken stock

1
tbsp (15ml) Corn flour mixed with 2 tbsp (30ml) of water

2
tbsp (30ml) Vegetable oil

1
oz (30g) Onion, cut into chunks

1
Fresh chilli, chopped together with the seeds

1 tsp
(5ml) Black beans

1
Green pepper, deseeded and chopped into chunks

1
tbsp (15ml) Soy sauce

Sugar
– a pinch

A
pinch of salt to taste

Boiled
rice to serve

Method

1. Before
you start cooking prepare your ingredients first as they will need to
be cooked together very quickly.

2.Prepare
the prawns by removing the shell off the king prawns and boiling them
for approximately two minutes. When the prawns turn pink, it's an
indication that they are cooked. Remember to cut
and remove the prawn’s intestines.

3. Prepare
garlic. There are four different styles of preparing garlic, i.e.,
slicing, crushing, chopping and squashing to create a puree. Each of
the methods brings about a particular flavour. For our recipe, we
shall crush the garlic to get a sweet flavour.

4. Prepare
the stock.

5. Make
the corn flour mixture. It is advisable to stir in small amounts of
water until you achieve the desired thickness.

6. Start
off by heating the oil in a wok or an ordinary frying pan until hot.

7. Drop
in the onions and fry until they turn golden in colour, and then add
the chilli and black beans and fry for almost a minute.

8. Add
green pepper and mix a little bit. Next,
add the King prawns and fry for two to three minutes. Ensure that the
food does not burn or stick to the wok or pan.

9. Add
the chicken stock and allow the mixture to boil for approximately two
minutes.

10. Add
a bit of water plus the soy sauce, sugar and salt. Use
the corn flour mixture to thicken the soup.

11. Make
sure the mixture is piping hot before serving with the boiled rice.
